Lou Reed: Waiting for the Man - Život a hudba
Doplněné a kompletně revidované vydání jedinečné Lou Reedovy biografie nabízí ucelený a zároveň detailní pohled na jeho hudbu a život.
Sám Reed knihu označil za nejlepší biografii, která o něm kdy vznikla.
Waiting For The Man vykresluje jednu z vůdčích osobností alternativní hudby, rockovou ikonu, která skrze své kontroverzní texty a typický garážový zvuk ovlivnila celé další směřování rockové hudební scény. Už v éře hippies vystupoval s nekompromisní až mystickou uzavřeností a odtažitostí. Jeho nezaměnitelný styl se pokoušely napodobit generace následovníků. Značně ovlivnil také český underground, několikrát navštívil ČR a přátelil se s Václavem Havlem.
Kniha sleduje celý Reedův život od úplných začátků ve skupině Velvet Underground přes více než 40letou sólovou dráhu, během které vystřídal nespočet různých poloh a zapsal se do historie jako jeden z nejoriginálnějších a těžko zařaditelných umělců.

Economics Rules
The economics profession has become a favourite punching bag in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Economists are widely reviled and their influence derided by the general public. Yet their services have never been in greater demand. To unravel the paradox, we need to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of economics.
Dani Rodrik argues that the multiplicity of theoretical frameworks - what economists call 'models' that exist side by side is economics' great strength. Economists are trained to hold diverse, possibly contradictory models of the world in their minds. This is what allows them, when they do their job right, to comprehend the world, make useful suggestions for improving it, and to advance their stock of knowledge over time. In short, it is what makes economics a 'science' a different kind of
science from physics or some other natural sciences, but a science nonetheless.
But syncretism is not a comfortable state of mind, and economists often jettison it for misplaced confidence and arrogance, especially when they confront questions of public policy. Economists are prone to fads and fashions, and behave too often as if their discipline is about the search for the model that works always and everywhere, rather than a portfolio of models. Their training lets them down when it comes to navigating among diverse models and figuring out which one applies
where. Ideology and political preferences frequently substitute for analysis in choosing among models.
So the book offers both a defence and critique of economics. Economists' way of thinking about social phenomena has great advantages. But the flexible, contextual nature of economics is also its Achilles' heel in the hands of clumsy practitioners.

Break the Rules! Say No without Scruples
What this book can do for you: You support certified climate protection projects, receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press reviews in the book preview) as well as advice proven in practice, which leads step by step to success - also thanks to add-on.
Because success is achieved by those who know their limits, but skilfully break the often unwritten rules. And in fact you live better and easier if you don't try to please everybody. But especially in important situations, many people have scruples about not meeting other people's expectations and simply saying "no". This is often due to fear of devaluation or sanctions, false politeness, too high expectations of oneself or feelings of guilt. With these negative feelings, however, you are in the way when it comes to asserting yourself. This book shows how, despite all reservations, the skilful breaking of rules works.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.
Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process.
The publisher is also involved in numerous, well-documented charitable projects, e.g. on climate protection, and supports the quality of neural machine learning and international understanding through its translation from German into English.
Editor Simone Janson is chairwoman, publisher, and best-selling author. She was also one of the 20 most important German bloggers and columnist of renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

Ústava Země A constitution for the earth Verfassung für die Erde Ústava Zeme
Niečo sa pokazilo. Optimizmus zo začiatku tisícročia dnes vystriedali obavy a neistota. Najprv euro?americká finančná, potom globálna ekonomická a s ňou spojená sociálna kríza, i zdanlivo nesúvisiaca klimatická zmena. Rastie hrozba vojenských konfliktov, terorizmu, sťahovania či migrácie ľudí a národov. Skryte narastá zásadný existenciálny konflikt ľudskej kultúry so Zemou. Chýba nám skúsenosť, hodnoty i program pre život v materiálne a duchovne rozmanitom svete.
Pribúdajú však aj výzvy ekologicky cítiacich ľudí, vedcov a inštitúcií na zmenu súčasnej civilizácie a vytvorenie nového vzťahu ľudí k prírode. Väčšinou ešte nejde o ucelené návody na riešenie, ale len o obavy a úzko orientované úvahy, morálne apelovanie a súpisy zbožných prianí. Dokonca aj pápež, riskujúc exkomunikáciu konzervatívnym krídlom cirkvi, vyzval v encyklike Laudato Sí všetkých ľudí k starostlivosti o spoločný planetárny domov. A to nielen na základe viery, ale aj v súlade s poznatkami dnešnej vedy.
Originálna koncepcia českého filozofa Josefa Šmajsa ponúka univerzálne prijateľné riešenia vychádzajúce z ontologickej podstaty našich súčasných problémov. Zdôvodňuje odmietnutie antropocentrizmu a žiada uznanie nadradenosti a práv Zeme nad právami, slobodami a výsadami ľudí. Ľudská kultúra nie je pokračovaním evolúcie prírody, ale opozičným umelým systémom, ktorý dnes Zem budúcim generáciam pustoší.
Ústava Zeme môže byť tou správnou odpoveďou – posúďte sami a staňte sa spolutvorcami novej duchovnej paradigmy.

Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, 'There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.' This is one of those times when history has sped up.
In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the 'top ten global thinkers of the last decade' (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.

I Was Born for This
The third novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman - one of the most talked about YA writers in recent years.
For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark - a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark's fandom has given her everything she loves - her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.
Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He's their frontman - and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing.
But dreams don't always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.
A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something - especially yourself.
